Damn it, you can still do this——
Everyone was shocked, then suddenly realized, and then looked at the fifth prince Zhou Ming one by one.
Zhou Ming was sweating on his forehead and said to the Emperor: "Father, I definitely did not frame my sixth brother! Last night... I also drank too much last night. When I woke up this morning, it was those servants who told me."
"Joke!" Zhou Che sneered: "A servant dares to instigate conflicts between princes. Is it because he has a long life?"
"It's because I failed to discipline them well and I trusted the people below." Zhou Mingyi gritted his teeth: "Sixth brother, brother Huang, I'm here to apologize to you!"
"His Majesty!"
Before Zhou Che could speak, a minister stood up and said, "The fifth prince has a kind temperament and has always been in harmony with his brothers. This matter is probably just a misunderstanding."
"Yes, the fifth prince and several princes have never had any conflicts."
"A few naughty servants were dragged down and chopped. We should make amends to the Sixth Prince."
Although Zhou Ming's connections in the court were not comparable to those of the eldest prince, they were far superior to the abandoned son Zhou Che.
Suddenly, a group of ministers jumped out to act as peacemakers.
Zhou Che's eyes were cold: These old gangsters! Where did you go when Lao Wu deposed me one by one?
Zhou Che turned to the emperor and shouted: "Father, please make the decision for your son!"
The emperor thought for a moment and waved his sleeves: "Come here, drag down the person who falsely accused the prince and chop him down!"
"Here!" came the warrior's voice.
Zhou Che secretly shook his head: Sure enough, it is impossible to overthrow several brothers with deep roots with such a trivial matter.
Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his brother proudly.
The emperor pointed at Zhen Wan again: "Dispose of the Zhen family together."
Zhen Wan's delicate body trembled, and there was a trace of sadness in her beautiful eyes.
As if accepting his fate, he lowered his head.
Zhou Ming looked ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything to save him - after all, Zhen Wan took the blame for him.
"Father." Zhou Che suddenly said: "The so-called 'no prosecution, no prosecution', if I, the victim, do not demand that Zhen be held accountable, will I be able to escape his guilt?"
Everyone was stunned.
The emperor also nodded blankly: "Since that's the case...why, do you want to forgive Mrs. Zhen?"
"Yes." Zhou Che nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive Zhen's sin."
Zhen Wan suddenly raised her head and stared at Zhou Che's back, feeling full of guilt.
The emperor nodded: "Okay, since you opened your mouth, it's OK."
After a pause, he continued: "You were also frightened today. Can I ask for anything?"
Zhou Che said without hesitation: "I would like to get ten million taels of gold."
thump--
In the field, several officials in charge of finance almost fell to death.
Ten million taels of gold? !
Even if you empty out the treasury, you still don’t have that much money. How dare you speak?
The emperor's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Change to someone more reliable."
Zhou Che looked at Zhen Wan: "Father, although nothing happened between me and Zhen, our reputation cannot be cleaned once it is stained."
"Instead of letting people spread rumors that I have something to do with the emperor's wife, why not just allow her to be my concubine?"
In Daxia, there are three levels of princes and spouses.
The first is the main wife, called the concubine, limited to one person;
The second is the side room, called concubine, limited to three people;
The third is the concubine room, called Qiang, with a limit of nine people.
The reason why I want Zhen Wan is not because of her beauty, but because of the huge resources behind this woman!
As a wealthy person in the East China Sea, Zhen has real money!
If I accept this bitch, wouldn't I not have to live a hard life?
wipe!
Everyone was shocked.
If I asked you to mention something reliable, would you mention this?
You are so shameless, you...
Huangfu Yun gave him a hard look.
Pfft——
The eldest prince couldn't hold it back at first, and laughed out loud: "Sixth brother, you are quite honest, but I don't know if your fifth brother is willing."
Zhou Ming roared: "No!"
He bowed to the Emperor: "Father, this is absolutely impossible! If this matter spreads, wouldn't it make everyone in the world laugh?"
The emperor glanced at him: "Zhen has never been here, what is there for the world to laugh at? Lao Liu——"
"My son is here." Zhou Che lowered his head slightly.
"I'm afraid it would be unfair to directly promise Zhen Wan to you."
"But since we have never crossed paths, we allow you two to compete fairly."
Speaking of this, he smiled flatly: "As a man, you have to fight for everything."
It means something!
Everyone in the venue was shocked.
The fifth prince glanced at Zhou Che and sneered.
Fight?
Why are you arguing with me? ?
Zhou Che sighed in disappointment: "Yes."
"You don't need to be disappointed. You can tell me one more thing... be more reliable!"
Zhou Che stared at the emperor's sword and said: "Now that I am being remembered, I hope to have a good sword with me. Can my father give me nine songs?"
Jiu Ge, the name of the sword, is one of the famous swords in the world and one of the Eight Swords of Emperor Xia. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like clay. When it is taken out of its sheath, it trembles like a song, hence its name.
Except for the crazy fourth brother, the other four of Zhou Che's five adult brothers were all named Jian Yiyi when they were crowned, which is a symbol of their status as emperor's heirs.
And Zhou Che is still one month away from being crowned...
The emperor did not refuse: "Come, go and get Jiuge."
"Here!"
One of the eunuchs left quickly.
After a while, a female officer came to Zhou Che holding a sword.
"Thank you, Father, for giving me the sword!"
Zhou Che took the sword.
Jiuge is three feet and three inches long, with a unique shape and a prismatic hilt and scabbard.
When unsheathed, it's more like a mace.
After being taken out of the sheath, the handle and sheath can be connected together to turn it into a long weapon.
Seeing Zhou Che holding the sword, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Directly asking for the famous sword that represents the identity of the emperor's heir, this old man hides it very deeply...
The emperor waved his hand: "This matter ends here. If there is nothing else, please step back."
Everyone bowed and were about to say goodbye. After the fifth prince and the second prince looked at each other, they both walked out at the same time:
"Father, I have something to report!"
"Huh?" The emperor frowned: "What else is there?"
Zhou Che's hand holding the sword tightened, and his intuition told him that these two good brothers were going to beat him again.
really--
"Father, please take away the sixth son's heir!"
The two spoke at the same time, with cold expressions on their faces.
Now that he has taken action, he must be trampled to death in one go.
What's more, Zhou Che's performance today made them understand: This kid is usually pretending to be stupid!
"Seize the heir!" There was a cry of shock in the audience.
The competition for princes in the Daxia Dynasty was particularly cruel.
The prince is crowned at the age of eighteen. After being crowned, there are two ways to go:
The first is to establish an heir, retain the title of prince, open a palace to obtain resources, and prepare to enter the next round of competition for the heir apparent;
The second is to seize the heir. After seizing the heir, he no longer has the status of a prince. He will obtain a title based on his previous performance and merits, and then be expelled to a fief for house arrest.
Zhou Che almost scolded his mother: These two are so cruel!
"The Sixth Prince Ming is incompetent in civil and military affairs, has bad conduct, and is known to be a mess."
The two spoke again: "It is true that his virtue is not worthy of his position. For the sake of the reputation of the entire royal family, please ask my father to take away his heir!"
After a moment of silence, several ministers stood up:
"What the two princes said is true!"
